A GroupTogether alternative for American coworkers

Quick answer
Thankeeu is a strong GroupTogether alternative in the US when you want coworkers to send voice notes, photos and video, not only typed messages. GroupTogether listed its card at $5.50 USD in October 2026, with card packs valid for 12 months; Thankeeu’s Pack credits never expire. Both let the office chip in to a gift on the same link.

What GroupTogether does well in the US
Credit where it is due. GroupTogether’s US pricing page lists a clear $5.50 card with unlimited messages, photos, GIFs and a PDF download, plus a large template library and email invitations with reminders. Its money collection is free when you collect at least $20, with a contributor fee of 2.9% + $0.30, a cap of $2,000 per collection, and a choice of more than 150 eGift cards.
If your office mostly needs a quick card and a shared gift card, that is a reasonable setup. The reasons people look elsewhere are usually about what goes on the card, how long credits last and when the card arrives.
Where Thankeeu goes further
GroupTogether’s US pricing page does not list voice or video messages. Every Thankeeu card takes voice notes alongside photos and GIFs, and the Most Popular card adds video, PDF and Word files, YouTube and TikTok links and the Memory Movie, a short film with music made from what everyone posted. For a going away card, hearing the voice of a coworker from the first team they ever joined is the part people remember.
Credits are the second difference. GroupTogether’s US page says pack cards are available for 12 months. Thankeeu Pack credits never expire, and you can send them to another Thankeeu account, so a manager who moves teams can hand the rest of the budget to their replacement.
Third, timing. Thankeeu schedules every card to the minute in the recipient’s own time zone. A card set for 9 in the morning lands at 9 in Phoenix for the coworker in Phoenix, and at 9 in Boston for the one in Boston.
- Voice notes: Included on every card
- Video and Memory Movie: With Most Popular and Pack cards
- Credits that never expire: And can be shared with other accounts
- Up to five co admins: On Most Popular, so two teams can run one farewell
- Private messages: A signer can keep a note just for the recipient
Price, honestly
GroupTogether’s card is $5.50 USD on its US pricing page, including tax and fees. Thankeeu’s Classic card is shown live in the pricing section below; at today’s price it sits a little under that, and Most Popular costs more because it includes video and the Memory Movie. Packs bring the per card price down on both services. If you send cards every week, compare the pack you would actually use, and remember that GroupTogether’s packs have a 12 month window while Thankeeu’s credits do not.
For the gift, Thankeeu takes contributions in US dollars from American coworkers and shows fees before anyone pays. The recipient claims the total to their bank account or as a digital gift card.
Going away cards, birthdays and showers
US offices send cards for a coworker’s going away party, birthdays, baby showers, retirements and sympathy. For wording, see our goodbye card guide for coworkers and birthday cards for a coworker. A baby shower card for a coworker often comes with a group gift; the baby shower card for a coworker page shows how that works on Thankeeu.
Remote teams are where Thankeeu earns its keep. A distributed team across Pacific, Mountain, Central and Eastern time can sign on their own schedule, record a voice note when it suits them, and the card still arrives at a sensible hour for the person receiving it.
A going away party checklist that works on either service
Whichever tool you pick, the same few habits make a going away card better. Start it at least a week before the last day, so the coworkers who are on PTO or traveling for work still have time to sign. Post the link twice: once when you start, and once two days before delivery with a short note that says who has not signed yet. Thankeeu sends reminders automatically to anyone who opened the link and did not post, which takes care of most of the second round.
Ask people for one specific memory rather than a generic good luck. A story about the client dinner that went sideways, the first week of onboarding or the office chili cookoff is what makes a card worth rereading. Voice notes help here, because a story is easier to tell than to type. Finally, pick a delivery time when the person can actually read it, not during their exit interview.
What you get on each plan
No subscription on Thankeeu: build the card, collect messages for free and pay once when you send.
- Classic: Unlimited coworkers and messages, photos, GIFs, voice notes, ten fonts, scheduled delivery, reminders, the gift pot and a PDF
- Most Popular: Adds video, files and links, the Memory Movie, thirty fonts, replies to each message and up to five co admins
- Pack: Most Popular cards bought together at a lower price per card, as credits that never expire
For HR and people teams
If you want every birthday and work anniversary covered without a spreadsheet of dates, look at Thankeeu for Teams. It imports staff from Rippling, Gusto, BambooHR and other HR systems, creates the cards automatically and gives your company its own workspace. GroupTogether’s US pricing page lists sending eGift cards, with invoice payment as an option, but not a plan that automates birthdays.
Switching from GroupTogether takes five minutes
- Create the card: Choose from 500 plus designs or upload a photo, then add your coworker’s name.
- Share the link: Slack, Teams, email or text. Coworkers sign without an account.
- Collect the gift: Turn on the gift pot so people chip in as they sign.
- Schedule it: Pick the minute in their time zone, or share the link at the party.
